Saints' Juwan Johnson: Modest numbers despite absences
Johnson secured three of six targets for 18 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
The veteran tight end couldn't take advantage of the absences of Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Taysom Hill (ribs), although he did log a season-high target total. However, Johnson couldn't come close to the season-best 48 receiving yards he'd posted four days earlier against the Buccaneers, and his outlook figures to remain modest going into a Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 27, a game which Olave and Hill are likely to be back for.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Logs three catches versus Tampa Bay
Johnson caught all three targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
Johnson logged a season-high in receiving yards, most of which came on a season-long 27-yard reception in the first quarter. He also had two other targets wiped off the board by penalties in the third and fourth quarters. The Saints to featured their tight ends more with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler starting in place of an injured Derek Carr (oblique), as Foster Moreau also logged two receptions on two targets for 54 yards. Johnson's recent resurgence in the offense is encouraging for any fantasy owners who took a flier on him early in the season. However, he's still probably just a solid waiver-wire pickup rather than a dependable piece in week-to-week lineups. Johnson will look to log at least three targets for the fourth game in a row during the Saints' upcoming game versus Denver on Thursday Night Football.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Catches five passes Week 5
Johnson reeled in all five targets for 31 yards during Monday's 26-13 loss to the Chiefs.
The tight end got more involved Week 5, establishing season-high marks across the board, including in playing time (78 percent snap share). However, the 6-foot-4 pass catcher was still kept out of the end zone for a fourth game in a row. The Saints' passing game remains focused around Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara, with few others beyond that trio producing reliably in a given week. The Saints' game plans could change with Derek Carr expected to miss at least a couple weeks with an oblique injury sustained late in Monday's loss, but that may result in a more run-heavy offense that could leave even fewer targets available for Johnson.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Back to full participation
Johnson (forearm) was a full participant in practice Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Johnson began Week 5 prep with a limited session Thursday, but his upgrade to full participation Friday puts him on track to avoid a designation for Monday's game against the Chiefs. Foster Moreau has been receiving the majority of playing time at tight end for the Saints, so Johnson will be tough to rely on Monday, despite Kansas City's struggles defending the position.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Opens week limited
Johnson (forearm) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.
Johnson may have picked up the injury during the Saints' 26-24 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs. Johnson has caught four passes (on six targets) for 39 yards and one touchdown through four regular-season games.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Breaks catchless streak
Johnson caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.
Johnson logged his first targets since the season opener versus Carolina. The 6-foot-4 tight end also would have finished with one more target and catch, as he had a 28-yard catch wiped off the board by an offensive holding penalty early in the third quarter. The 6-foot-4 tight end looked like a total non-factor and was overshadowed for playing time by Foster Moreau over the last two weeks. But Johnson played a season-high 67 percent of offensive snaps compared to 57 percent for Moreau in Week 4. Neither Johnson nor Moreau has had a consistent role in the receiving game so far this season, combining for 12 total targets over four games. There's not much reason to expect that their roles will increase during their next game versus Kansas City on Monday, Oct. 7.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Zero targets again Week 3
Johnson tallied zero targets during Sunday's 15-12 defeat against Philadelphia.
Johnson was a total non-factor in the passing game for the second week in a row. After catching an impressive toe-tap 16-yard touchdown Week 1, the fifth-year tight end has completely fallen out of the pass-catching rotation. What's worse, he appears to have been supplanted by Foster Moreau for the TE1 role, as the latter logged 40 offensive snaps Sunday compared to 28 for Johnson. The 6-foot-4 Johnson totaled 37 catches (on 59 targets) over 13 regular-season games with starting quarterback Derek Carr. However, it appears the tight-end position won't have nearly the same importance in the passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Johnson will look to work his way back into a more consistent role during this coming Sunday's road game against the division-rival Falcons.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Zero targets in blowout win
Johnson had zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win versus the Cowboys.
Johnson was not listed as New Orleans' starting tight end for the second game in a row. Instead, Foster Moreau got the start once again despite coming back from a concussion sustained in last week's win over Carolina. Neither tight end logged any targets Sunday, as quarterback Derek Carr attempted just 16 passes while throwing for 243 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Meanwhile, Taysom Hill logged one target and three carries before exiting with a chest issue that required further evaluation at a hospital postgame. Through two games, Johnson and Moreau have now logged three and four targets, respectively. While it's too soon to make any definitive projections, it appears that tight end may not be a position that's highlighted in the offense of new coordinator Klint Kubiak. It will be worth monitoring if either Johnson or Moreau see more targets during next Sunday's home game against the Eagles.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Makes toe-tap TD grab Sunday
Johnson gathered two of three targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.
Johnson had one of the standout plays of the game when he made a toe-tapping 16-yard touchdown catch in the right corner of the end zone. The 6-foot-4 pass catcher actually wound up with fewer targets and receptions than fellow tight end Foster Moreau, who caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown before exiting with a head injury. Johnson totaled 34 more targets despite playing two fewer games than Moreau last season, and the former was assumed to be the TE1 heading into the season opener. Meanwhile, versatile tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill worked more as a rushing threat out of the backfield Sunday, logging five carries and two targets. Moreau's status is also now up in the air for next Sunday's road game versus Dallas. When he is healthy again, it will be worth monitoring how Moreau, Johnson and Hill are deployed under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak moving forward.
